Sage advice, thank you. Many years ago, when I was training for my first half marathon, I was pretty daunted by some of the hills that would come later in the race, when I knew I'd be tired. A veteran marathoner said to me, "How do you eat an elephant? One bit a a time. Hills the same way. Let go of keeping your pace and just worry about keeping your effort about the same." That pace vs effort idea, along with one foot in front of the other, became two concepts I've used again and again, in running, in work, in life.
